The exhibition features not only Tom’s iconic works but also a virtual reality experience that immerses visitors in his world.
This is the third year Diesel has collaborated with the Tom of Finland Foundation for Pride, expanding their partnership with a capsule collection, an emerging erotic artist competition, and a series of global events. The initiative celebrates the Foundation’s role in preserving queer art and promoting openness, freedom, and love. Beyond the art on display, the exhibition will offer artist-related merchandise and the 2024 Diesel x Tom of Finland Pride capsule collection, featuring works by international artists.
